Chapter 747: Emotional Damage (1)

Silence descended.

A genius who had swept through the geniuses of numerous prefectures had been defeated by Su Yu. Some of the people in the crowd were in disbelief, and some were feeling lost. Shan Xiong had been defeated.

Could anyone in the same cultivation level still defeat Su Yu? With the destruction of his physical body and the damage to his sea of willpower, would Shan Xiong die?

Floating above the lake, Su Yu repeated himself, "The character is mine."

Jiang Tao clenched his teeth. Right that moment, someone else shouted with grief and indignation, "Su Yu! Don't be too excessive! Must you kill him?"

A figure flew out from among the crowd.

Standing before Su Yu, Shang Tianjiao mournfully asked, "He lost! He lost! You're stronger than him! You're the number one Skysoar! Are you not satisfied with this? Why must you kill him?"

She was still slightly absent-minded. She was still in disbelief. But she knew very well that Shan Xiong had lost. She had always thought that Shan Xiong might encounter defeat one day, but not now while he was still a Skysoar. But he had suffered a crushing defeat in Su Yu's hands.

From the start until the end, Shan Xiong did not manage to leave any serious injury on Su Yu's body. The worst injury on Su Yu was dealt by himself with the detonation of 144 acupoints. That was a one-sided fight. Shan Xiong stood no chance.

Su Yu looked at her indifferently and said, "Victory and defeat have been decided. Life or death is up to fate. If I was the one who has been defeated, would you guys take my characters away? Of course, I wouldn’t have gone back on my words. I'd let you have my characters."

Shang Tianjiao was turning agitated. She clenched her teeth and asked, "What do you want? I can give it to you! You want characters? The Shang Family can give some to you! We can even give you some Sunmoon characters!"

"I only want his character."

Su Yu pointed at Jiang Tao. He could sense that Shan Xiong's character was different from the others. As for Sunmoon characters, he already had a few in his possession.

"Su Yu!" Shang Tianjiao asked furiously, "Are you not going to consider the consequences of this?"

"Consequences?" Su Yu nonchalantly asked, "What consequences are you speaking of? Speak clearly. Will Great Shang King trouble me over a dead man and an insignificant descendant like you? Ridiculous. Are you threatening me? Do you think I'm your subordinate? Or do you think I'm your vassal? Who are you to threaten me?"

Su Yu sneered. So what if she was the descendant of an Invincible? He had seen way too many Invincible descendants before.

"Shang Tianjiao, move aside. If you give me the impression that you're challenging me, I'll kill you."

Looking at Su Yu's frosty gaze, a chill crept up Shang Tianjiao's spine.

"Princess!"

The experts of Great Shang flew out. All of them stared at Su Yu warily.

Su Yu looked at the soldiers and smiled, "Do not be a sore loser. Shan Xiong himself had defeated the experts of over a dozen prefectures. Did any of those experts turn back on their words like a sore loser? Why should Shan Xiong be an exception?"

Shang Tianjiao gnashed her teeth and said, "No! You can't kill him! He's different! He's the hope of humanity!"

"Pfft!" Among the crowd, Wu Lan rolled her eyes and said, "You're talking like humanity will be destroyed without Shan Xiong. If he's the hope of humanity, then I'm the ancestor of humanity."

Shang Tianjiao did not respond to those words, but Su Yu ignored Shang Tianjiao and flew straight toward Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao had a cold look in his eyes as he said, "He can apologize, but kowtowing...those people..."

"Are unworthy?" Su Yu said, "Since he has lost to me, it is within my rights to kill him. But I'm only asking for his character, not his life. Fate will decide whether he lives or dies after that. Don't be a hypocrite. Is he only allowed to win but not lose?"

Shang Tianjiao decided to ignore the three beasts and charged through them. Great Mountain rolled his eyes and sent a slap her way.

Boom!

A powerful burst of willpower erupted from Shang Tianjiao's body. An indistinct silhouette appeared above her. The silhouette glanced at the three beasts and sighed, "Su Yu, can you agree to take a step back for my sake? Tianjiao has fallen for Shan Xiong..."

"My apologies, but I don't know you."

At this point, Su Yu had reached Shang Tianjiao. The Mountainsea soldiers were all hovering before Shang Tianjiao with guilty expressions. They all lowered their heads in greeting to the silhouette.

"Greetings, Prefect!"

Shang Tianjiao also hurriedly said, "Grandpa, Big Brother Shan Xiong is greatly injured..."

The silhouette appeared quite helpless. He glanced at the distant Jiang Tao. This was supposed to be Great Zhou's business! But now...

The experts of Great Zhou weren't doing anything! Meanwhile, this granddaughter of his was the one rashly trying to take Shan Xiong away. That was so troublesome.

"Su Yu, a hundred drops of Mountainsea divine and devil blood essence!"

"I'm not a beggar." Su Yu wasn't surprised even after learning the identity of the silhouette. He said, "A hundred drops?"

He laughed, "I don't lack something like that. I have a lot of money and plenty of divine and devil blood essence. Not even first divine and original devil blood essence is worth much to me. Great Xia sent me an eighth-stage Sunmoon divine skywing corpse recently. I haven't even touched that corpse. Great Ming also has a fifth-stage Sunmoon blood fire devil corpse that I can use anytime I want. Prefect Shang, do I look like a beggar to you? This matter is unrelated to Great Shang. I hope you can stay out of it."

Prefect Shang felt quite helpless. Yes. Su Yu did not lack money. His cultivation methods had earned him a lot of money. And Great Ming also treated him like an absolute treasure. What did he lack? Nothing!

After defeating Shan Xiong so easily today, Zhu Tiandao would place even more importance on him. Prefect Shang's head was aching. Shan Xiong with his character was worth investing in. But without his character, even if he survived, he would be a cripple. He would no longer be worth investing in. It was still not too late to stop that from happening.

The silhouette was about to speak when Niu Baidao sighed, "Aren't you guys being too excessive? If you want to talk, talk properly. What are you doing? Get down here and sit down. Prefect Shang, you're within our academy grounds. It's rude to use willpower possession on someone here."

The silhouette said, "It was too presumptuous of me. This possession was only for the sake of protecting Tianjiao. I don't mean anything else. Principal Niu, you're right. We can sit down and talk it out. Su Yu, state your terms. Even if it's not something Great Shang can fulfill, there's also Great Zhou. You have amazing characters yourself, so what's the point of taking Shan Xiong's character? You might as well take some important resources instead. You must be suffering from your detonated acupoints as well. You should focus on recovery..."

Someone from the Knowledge Seeking Academy said, "Exactly. Principal Niu, Su Yu, we're all humans. This is merely a spar. Why insist on killing Shan Xiong? We can always talk this out."

"That's right. Even if Su Yu was the one who had been defeated, we would be saying the same thing to Great Zhou as well. We aren't siding with anyone. We simply don't wish to see the loss of a human genius to something like a spar."

"..."

More and more people spoke out. Some of them were still somewhat absent-minded even now. Shan Xiong's defeat had been too miserable. His physical body had been fully destroyed.

Even his sea of willpower was badly damaged. He was barely hanging on with his character. Without that character, he would die for sure. They weren't too worried about his body since Shan Xiong's strength mainly came from his character.

At most, they only needed to pay a high price to rebuild his physical body before helping him with recultivation. Then again, even that would be challenging. Shan Xiong had also worked hard for his physical cultivation. All of that was now gone.
